little blonde haired boy
steppin' off the bus
a bad day at school again
he's almost had enough
but a friend awaits
and she'll meet him by the road
and make the long walk easier, back home
he tried to just fit in
but the world goes by so fast
when you're lookin' out the window
the present is the past
but a friend will be there
to meet him by the road
and make the long walk easier, back home
(bridge)
and the teachers just can't understand what's wrong
what can the boy be thinking of
and why does it come out so wrong
all the tests say that his mind is strong
but he's not like all the kids who go along
he just stares out the window
while the others do their math
he doesn't want to follow
he just wants to leave the path
he only feels free
when she meets him by the road
and she makes the long walk easier back home
now there's a brown haired dog
who is waiting for her friend
she waits there for the bus
she will wait 'til it comes in
she will sit there patiently
'till he meets her by the road
and he makes the long walk easier back home
(by the way...this is a true story...written from an old memory about a good friend, my dog suzy.)

my miserable life
dirt cold
that's how i feel most times these days
hurt so
seems the whole worlds runnin' away
but still you touch me
even though i'm an everyday charlie brown
why do you still care?
when you need me i'm not around
(chorus)
i'm thinkin' bout my........
my miserable life keeps bringin' me down
can't understand why........
you're thinkin' i'm right
when i act like a clown
do you know it?........
you're the one good thing
when you come around
wasted
i'm too damn good at wastin' your time
tasted
but then i drink up all of your wine
but still you want me
even though i'm a train wreck waitin' to call
why do you still care?
when i'm like a hammer ready to fall
(back to chorus then to bridge)
(bridge)
you're the only one who sees me sane
you're the only one who sees through all the pain
you got a way to make me think that i just might
even though you know i'll let you down tonight
(back to chorus)

if i was dependin' on you
if i was dependin' on you
to bring me up from darkness
would you be there?
to help when i'm in need
would you be there?
when i can't see the sunshine
or would you just let me be?
if i was dependin' on you
to take me in and calm me
would you open the door?
would you let me come inside?
would you open your home?
to someone sad and lonely
or would you just let me cry?
(chorus)
always in the sweetest days i see you
nothing seems to block you out of sight
but when the wheels of life go turnin'
would you still be there?
to share some of your light
if i was dependin' on you
to bring me consolation
could you find the words?
to make me feel alright
would you open your heart?
to a soul who's tired of losing
or would you just walk on by?

i never cry
deeper in the past i go
with every passing day i know
there's something that i remember
pulling at the soul inside me
all the time as if to blind me
something i won't surrender
(bridge)
yeah i remember you and all you meant to me
how you gave it all away and sent the bill to me
(chorus)
but i won't let you win a single day
someday i am going to find a way
don't have to tell you why
not even gonna try
i'll keep it all inside
i never cry
i recall the words you told me
lies you told so you could hold me
don't think i don't remember
you took my heart and then you sold it
beat it up and let it go
you took it, i didn't give it
(back to bridge, then chorus)

hey, hey, hey
what can i say?
and who should i say it to?
should i go away?
on the next train that's coming through
just hitch a ride
to somewhere else
be somebody different
instead of myself
where do i look?
when this world runs out on me
do i grab the hook?
of what seems to set me free
making it small
in a bigger way
my destination
is outer space
(chorus)
and hey, hey, hey,
i'm just getting by
hey, hey, hey
the time sure seems to fly
when i'm not getting in
the universe won't let me win
what do i do?
take a number and wait in line
all that i knew
is in the distance and out of sight
i'm on a roll
yeah that's for sure
it's too damn easy
keeping it pure
(back to chorus)

enter the only one
there were so many when he started this race
now they're all gone, but he remembers the faces
together they were gonna change the world
now there's only one left, as the moment unfurls
he was young and he believed in his mission
now he's alone, do the other ones miss him
the time has come for him to hang up his cape
that's what everyone says, but that's just not his way
(chorus)
enter the only one
he's just a lonely one
fighting a losing war
but he believes what he's fighting for
enter the only one
he's just a lonely one
a hero hangin' on beyond his day
'cause all the other heroes flew away
he just hangs out in his fortress of solitude
clark kent lost his gig, now what's he gonna do?
lois lane just ran away with the flash
now the man of steel, feels like the man of glass
jimmy olson grew up and he moved to L.A.
perry white just got old, and he passed away
lex luther moved on, even he's in retirement
spending all of his his loot, trying to save the environment
(back to chorus)
in memory of the late christopher reeve

i'll still believe
you let me down today
i didn't see it comin'
yet it came right through the window
and burned into my brain
you found a way to say that nothing really matters
you left me in the darkness
drowning in your rain
(bridge)
i may be down tonight
that's how it's gonna be
but i won't be down for long
so please don't pity me
(chorus)
when everything is dark
and the light is hard to see
don't worry
i'll still believe
when the world is going crazy
and there seems to be no peace
i'll still be standing
and i'll still believe
you let me down today
but there's no use in cryin'
you walked right out the front door
and then you drove away
you took the time to say as if it really matters
you thought you took me down
but please let me explain

a million stars
warm summer night
just me and the sky
a million stars
all in my eye at once
and i'm missin' you
i looked at all
the places you go
searching for you
even the sky don't know
yeah, i'm missin' you
(bridge)
sky full of stars
one of them must be you
if you see my heart
tell me what i should do
(chorus)
'cause right now, in the middle of the night
got a crisis of the heart
i gotta know, i need some kind of plan
to get me back to you
somehow, something just went wrong
and i let you slip away
and right now, amidst a million stars
i hope you'll be okay
lost summer dreams
caught up in a lie
a wounded heart
how can i make you see?
i need you here
i've been through hell
i made a mistake
now i'm asking you
can't you feel i'm real by now?
and i'm missin' you

it's a big old mountain
when you take the high road
and it's a lonely place
sometimes you'd give up dinner
for a friendly face
'cause where you're goin'
takes a long, long, time
it's a big old mountain
it's a long hard climb
you ought to take it easy
but it's so hard to do
when a world of trouble
is comin' down on you
'cause to find a dream
takes a long, long, time
it's a big old mountain
it's a long hard climb
(bridge)
and you know they'll be no better time to try it
there ain't no day that's better than today
just remember that you're not the one and only
you're bound to meet some angels on the way
you wanna face tomorrow
but you don't know how
you're livin' in the moment
that's why it hurts right now
'cause where you want to be
takes a long, long, time
it's a big old mountain
it's a long, hard climb

i guess i'll never know
i know you won't see this
i guess it doesn't matter now
i thought you were different
but now i know i was wrong
you say that you're happy
but i know it's a lie
you say that you need a friend
then you change your mind
(chorus)
well i think i'm gonna quit you
just give it up
but their ain't quittin' in me
so i guess i'm stuck
in the corner, in the quiet
where the losers go
you could have been saved
i guess i'll never know
you tell me you're hurting
then you smile like i'm wrong
like you think i'd believe you
like the problems all gone
you say that it's over
your turning on a new leaf
who do you think you're foolin'
you need a little relief

when the world comes around
i'm still awake i hear the breezes as they blow
a twig rubs against my windowpane
i think about all the people that i met yesterday
and realize that most don't know my name
as another night falls cool thoughts pass away
and i wait for any kind of sign
are the dreams i dream somehow common in this world
or are they dreams that are only mine
wake me when the world comes around
let me feel you reaching out to me
take me from this darkness that i found
give me somewhere else that i can be
i take a dreamscape trip to a place that i recall
a place i have seen in dreams before
i look for pieces of my memories as they fall
wet and warm upon my pillowcase
my tired eyes close before morning comes again
i'll wake to just another day
are the dreams i dreamed something magic coming 'round
or are they just my heart about to break

i wanna be
i wake up again
today is just another day
the world is still here
sometimes i feel i'm in it's way
i'm tryin' to be
a better man than i have been
the fight to wake up
is where the daily grind begins
gotta get back to work
i'm tryin' to make it there on time
this room is so old
enough memories make a man go blind
i'm tryin' to live
in peace with everyone i meet
sometimes it's hard
to remember what i believe
(chorus)
i wanna be better than i am
i wanna be the very best i can
i wanna treat a stranger like a friend
i wanna learn to fall in love again
i wanna be the man i need to be
i wanna be the one who helps
when others are in need
at least that's what i wanna be
i drive home from work
the traffic stop and go for miles
do i scowl at them all
or give someone a friendly smile
from day to day
i'm want to live the way i should
it's so easy to be bad
sometimes it's hard to be good

singin' to the moon
saw the full moon risin' nice and slow
thought about you, don't know why you, you know
must have been that song, on the radio
we would belt that thing out, every night, oh
(chorus)
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
i go to places that we used to go
half lookin' for you, on the sly, you know
must have been that song, on the radio
the one we'd be singin', every night, oh
(chorus)
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
(bridge)
and the days go by much too fast these days
i don't see the nights at all
i was just thinkin' 'bout our crazy ways
you know i just had to call
so i'm drivin' 'round with the radio
blastin' it out, cruisin' down the road
then here comes that song, that we both know
and i started screamin' it out, oh
(chorus)
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
(hearing the ALLMAN BROTHER'S "ramblin' man" while driving around town sparked this song...and yes there was a full moon in the sky...i had to rush back home to write this before the inspiration left)

away, away
the storm is coming
away, away
the mountains warn us
away, away
the time is over
away, away
it's time for running
away, away
the stars are falling
away, away
no surrender
away, away
the oceans boiling
away, away
it's time to remember
away, away
(this song came running through my mind one evening...after i wrote it...i had an armegeddon like dream...where flashing lights rose from the ground...i was told that the lights were defenses against our enemy's weapons...an enemy not of this earth...only one other person in the dream seemed concerned besides me...airports were closing and everyone seemed to think it was just another false alarm...i knew it wasn't....needless to say i woke up pretty creeped out)
